Ingredients

c. Dijon mustard

1/4 c. whole-grain mustard

2 clove garlic

1/4 c. chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

3 lemons

1 chicken

Kosher salt

pepper

1 tbsp. olive oil

1 tbsp. honey

Directions

Heat the grill to medium-low. In a small bowl, combine the mustards, garlic, and half the parsley. Grate 1 tablespoon lemon zest into the bowl and stir to combine. Transfer a third of the mixture to a second small bowl.

Using your fingers, loosen the skin from the chicken pieces. Dividing evenly, stuff the reserved third of the mustard mixture under the skin of the chicken pieces. Season the chicken with 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper.

Squeeze the juice of 2 lemons into the remaining mustard mixture (you should have about 6 tablespoons juice). Add the oil and honey and mix to combine.

Grill the chicken, covered, turning occasionally and basting with the mustard glaze during the last 5 minutes of cooking, until cooked through, 30 to 40 minutes. Cut the remaining lemon in half and grill, cut-side down, until slightly charred, about 1 minute. Transfer the chicken and lemon to a platter and sprinkle with the remaining parsley before serving.

Tips & Techniques

Cook's Tip: Before you rinse out that almost empty jar of mustard, use it to shake up a batch of vinaigrette (use 1 part vinegar to 2 parts oil). The flavor-charged dressing will keep in the refrigerator for up to a week.
